I have just cleaned up my computer with the help of Trevuren, but I still have one more problem. Whenever I double-click an icon I have to sit there and wait for several seconds until the program finally loads. It gets very frustrating, and I really want this problem solved. Can someone help me fix this?

Help would be appreciated.
